Hello, Unfortunately, it still doesn't run. I have no idea where tomcat expects those jar file to be ( I have downloaded the JDBC-Driver for mysql, the file is named mm.mysql-2.0.4-bin.jar) and copied it to $JAKARTA_HOME/common/lib, but still the same "Class loading error ". Maybe I need to put it elsewhere? I also do not know if JDBC is working at all ! Is there a way to check this? do I have to configure this separatlely somwhere in jakarta?
